Monday Morning Cool Tool: Google Dataset Search

Posted on by Editor

I love learning about new tools to make social media marketing more creative and effective, so I’ve decided to share some of my favorite tools with you at the start of each week. This week I’m recommending a Google Dataset Search.

For all you data-geeks, Google has launched a new search engine to help scientists, journalists, and the more data-centric content marketers among us find the datasets they need.

Here’s a snapshot of a search I did which didn’t exactly return what I was looking for, but it’s instructive to see it nonetheless.

I love learning about new tools to make social media marketing more creative and effective, so I’ve decided to share some of my favorite tools with you at the start of each week. This week I’m recommending a free stock photo site called Pikwizard . 

As regular readers know, I am obsessed with visuals in marketing, but it’s hard to find medical related stock images that haven’t been used ad infinitum.  I was really pleased to hear about Pikwizard and find a super selection of medical-themed images. The site is particularly good for aesthetic procedures and dentistry-related images.

Pikwizard hosts over 100,000 completely free images, with over 20,000 of those exclusive to the site.  Adding new images to their stock library daily, the site’s ultimate goal is to get to more than 1 million images!

Visit  www.pikwizard.com next time you need an image to enhance your medical marketing.

This week’s cool tool recommendation is Portent’s Content Idea Generator tool.

This tool allows you to generate headline ideas with just one keyword. Be prepared that the tool can throw up some quirky suggestions, but don’t let that put you off. Keep playing around with it until you find one you can work with. I also really like how it shows you best practice tips, such as using metaphors in your writing.

This week’s cool tool recommendation is Quora.

Quora is a question and answer platform where you can either ask a question about your topic or simply do a search using your topic keyword to find what people are asking about that topic. It’s a super place for market research. Make a list of those questions which you feel you could write about.

You have the option to follow chosen topics in your niche. Once you do so you’ll keep seeing the ‘Top Stories’ (questions) in your Quora newsfeed. You can also check out the ‘New Questions’ option to see the latest questions. When you have written an article or blog post on the topic, go back into Quora and answer a question related to the topic. You can include a link to your post in your answer.

Monday Morning Cool Tool: Freerange

Posted on by Editor

download-24This week’s cool tool recommendation is Freerange which provides free high res stock photos for commercial and non-commercial use.

The photos either come directly from in-house photographers and archives or they are contributed by a growing community of photographers. Images provided directly (in-house) by Freerange Stock originate one of two ways. They are either digitally photographed on Canon DSLR cameras or they are a high resolution (4000 dpi) Nikon scan of an original 35mm slide. Once the image is acquired, the photo is sharpened, color corrected, cropped and keyworded. Some images are manipulated in Photoshop to make them more effective. Then the original is archived and a 2400×1600 version is optimized and output, then posted on the live site.

It’s certainly one of the best sources of stock photos I’ve come across – and it’s free! Try it today.
